Like... in any way, right? Romantically or physically? ... I guess, like, any of the same stuff you have with me. More than friends, maybe?

...I mean, if you're talking being...intimate...then yeah, I guess...

[colors, a little]

A-anyways, so do you...right?

[ flusters, faintly. ]

Y... yeah, but it's... I mean. I don't need. it or anything. I love Ashley, but she's... Zrael. We don't gotta do stuff like that.

[ thinks for a moment, though. ]

... there's not anyone else, though. Just you.

Can I uh-- ask... who? You don't gotta say nothin', though.

[shifts, ripping the bagel into increasingly smaller pieces]

I mean... Hurricane...so that's kinda. On the must-have list.

[ stares

and maybe this wasn't the expected expression, given everything, but she perks up significantly. ]

-- yeah? Good!

...?

I'm-- glad. ... you both deserve good stuff from each other.

...Yeah, he's stuck with me anyways. I mean--until he gets a girlfriend, I guess. And then I'll--keep 'er in line, or whatever.

... I mean, he doesn't want anyone else.

Oh, he's already got somebody picked out? He didn't say anything. But I guess that's no same as usual...

Soooo you guys did some smooching during the game and from what he made it sound like you guys had a talk about some stuff and you. Don't know?

... Kitty, come on. It's obviously you.

A lot of people did smooching during the game. Sucking face don't got anything to do with feelings.

Okay, so believe me saying the thing I know for a fact from beyond a stupid kiss game. He likes you. You're getting bagel all over the floor.

Oh--

[she ducks down to pick up bagel crumbs; lets her hair fall in front of warm cheeks]

I-I mean. I know that. That's probably why he felt comfortable enough to, ah. Practice, I guess.

Okay, third time's the charm, right?

He has. A crush. On you. Like, the same one I did! Actually it's probably stronger than "crush" by now but you get my gist.

...Can you just take this seriously? We're never gonna get through this stuff at this rate.

Don't believe me all you want.

... anyway, he the only one? Or only one you wanna talk about, I guess. ... if I ever get to that point with someone else I'll definitely run things by you first before I do anything with anyone. If that sounds good?

I'll believe him, and what he's said, and just generally how real life works.

[purses her lips, brushing the remains of the bagel back into the bag it came in]

...Anyways--fine, sounds fine. And I guess I'll do the same. And--if you got a problem with it...or I do...then...

[uh what is problemsolving without knives]

M'just saying the junk he told me. Nobody practices kissing for someone else...

[ huffs. And thinks for a moment ]

... well, you've got total veto power. You come first before anyone else, for me.

Otherwise we can just... talk it out, I guess. M'not gonna make you stop if you want something with someone else.

You wanna do a good job, you gotta train.

[and fffrowns]

And—no, that’s not fair, I’m not— Nobody should be telling people what relationships they can and can’t have; I veto that. Just ‘cause you got bad taste don’t mean it’s not your right to act on it.

... I really don't mind? I mean-- it's been long enough in this place that if anybody else was even interested in me they might have said something anyway and nobody has. And I really haven't been looking at anyone else to begin with, either. Stuff with Ashes was from before we started dating, too...

... I do not have bad taste.

I mind. It doesn’t matter who else is here, trying to take that much power over somebody...

[frowns more resolutely; shakes her head]

A relationship should be equals. Otherwise I’m not interested.

[pauses]

...And you absolutely do; I seen the choices you make.

Bad choices are different. I have great taste. You taste great!

S'not taking if I'm giving it to you... but fine, that's fine. No vetos, then. ... just don't really know what to do if one of us DOES got a problem with it in that case.
